THE WHOLE IS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
... existence one would not easily guess by looking at the equations. Complication is everywhere. As a theoretical physicist, I know that even a tiny crystal of common salt contains billions upon billions of charged atoms (ions) undergoing elaborate, coordinated motions (phonons) even though the crystal ...

1 Two qubits - EECS: www
... An interesting question comes up here: what if we measure just the first qubit? What is the probability that the outcome is 0? This is simple. It is exactly the same as it would have been if we had measured both qubits: Pr {1st bit = 0} = Pr {00} + Pr {01} = |α00 | 2 + |α01 | 2 . Ok, but how does th ...

ASSIGNMENTS Week 6 (F. Saueressig) Cosmology 14/15 (NWI
... Exercise 3: Einstein’s static universe (hand-in exercise) When Einstein studied the cosmological implications of his equations, he was guided by the idea that the universe should be spatially finite and static. In order to realize this idea he had to introduce the cosmological constant Λ. Following ...

CONJUGATE HARMONIC FUNCTIONS IN SEVERAL VARIABLES
... and set f(r,0) =u(x,y) in cartesian coordinates. Then u satisfies the singular Laplace equation (3) (with n — 2=2X), in the upper semidisc x2+y2 0. If we look for its conjugate function v(x,y) given by (4) (again n — 2 =
2X), then we obtain
v(z,y)=f(r,d)

... In case (i), the superposition principle holds, that is, the superposition of physical states yields again a physical state. Mathematically, such processes are described by linear spaces and linear operator equations. The mathematical analysis can be simplified by representing physical phenomena as s ...

The Photoelectric Effect
... According to the photon theory of light, the maximum kinetic energy, KEmax , of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of the light, and is independent of the intensity. In contrast, the classical wave model of light predicted that KEmax would depend on light intensity. A PASCO scientific h/e ...
